Dr. Benjamin "Ben" Kopp is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in joint replacement and revision. He joined Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic after completing advanced fellowship training in adult reconstruction surgery in 2023. As a surgeon, he is dedicated to working with patients to develop safe and effective plans so they can return to the activities that are being limited by their condition.

Dr. Kopp’s expertise includes standard and complex hip and knee replacement and revision, including the latest in minimally invasive techniques like anterior hip replacement, robotic-assisted joint replacement, partial knee replacement and orthopaedic injury/fracture care.

An Iowa native, Dr. Kopp graduated from The University of Iowa in Iowa City with an undergraduate degree in engineering. There, he later earned his Doctor of Medicine and Master of Business Administration degrees from The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine/Tippie College of Business. Dr. Kopp went on to complete his orthopaedic surgery residency at The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. He then was selected to an exclusive adult reconstruction fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine, where he completed advanced subspecialty training in joint replacement and revision.

Dr. Kopp’s interest in orthopaedics began as an undergraduate studying implant design in biomedical engineering. He became more interested in the practical application of these principles, and he is driven to apply engineering principles to surgery to help restore patients' function and mobility.

He has served as an orthopaedic/medical mission trip volunteer in Ecuador, Guatemala and Tanzania. He gets great satisfaction from talking to patients at post-operative appointments and hearing how they have been able to get back to whatever activities they were limited with before, whether that be walking the golf course, playing with grandkids or any other activity that brings them joy. He finds it incredibly rewarding to see the combined efforts of the clinic and operating room staff, therapists and the patient make significant improvements in a patient’s quality of life.

Dr. Kopp resides in Knoxville with his wife, Susan, and golden retriever, Sadie. Outside of work, he enjoys golf, running, mountain biking, yoga and live music.
